Take One, Leave One Coat Rack In Conway
CONWAY, NH – A local family is helping to make sure every one in the Mount Washington Valley has access to a winter coat.
Lisa and Mike O’Keefe put up a coat rack where generous residents could leave a winter jacket and those without could grab one.
Lisa said she was inspired by the kindness of another across the country. “We saw an article on the news about a woman in Dallas Taxes who put a coat rack on her side walk with a sign reading Are you cold? Take one… Do you want to help? Leave one. Knowing how kind and generous the MWV is, we thought – Why can’t we put up a rack like Dallas?”
She continued saying “The reason I wanted it out in the open is because most people who need help are too proud to be seen taking items. This way it’s accessible 24/7!”
Lisa and her husband built the coat rack and Conway Selectmen Carl Thibodeau, owner of Conway Marketplace and J & D Tool Repair, gave them permission to place the coat rack in his plaza.
The rack was put up Sunday morning and by that evening Lisa was getting messages saying it was filling up fast. In fact the rack was such a success that she is considering putting up another one somewhere in the Mount Washington Valley.

Teens crash while sledding on closed ski slope, killing 1
NEWRY, Maine (AP) — Officials say two New Hampshire teenagers sneaked onto Maine’s Sunday River resort while it was closed, went sledding on a ski trail and crashed into a tree, killing one and seriously injuring the other.
Oxford County Chief Deputy Hart Daley says three people were involved in the illicit, after-hours outing early Wednesday on an inflatable tube. Sledding is not allowed on ski trails, and the mountain was closed.
Portsmouth High School Principal Mary Lyons confirmed that a senior, David Kohlhase, died in the crash, and that another student was hospitalized. Police say the third person called for help.
A resort spokeswoman said it happened on the Tempest Trail, which is steeper than most sledding hills. Part of it is rated for expert skiers, and part is rated for intermediate skiers.

Gov. Sununu Says Marsy’s Law Could Go On November Ballot
CONCORD,NH – Governor Chris Sununu, House and Senate lawmakers, law enforcement leaders and crime victims gathered to show support for legislation to help crime victims.
This afternoon the Governor announced that the constitutional amendment known as Marsy’s Law could go on the November ballot.
The amendment would require prosecutors to inform victims of proceedings involving the accused and the right for them to be heard in hearings involving the release, sentencing and parole.
Attorney General Gordon MacDonald, Senate Minority Leader Jeff Woodburn, and victims of crime and their families joined Governor Sununu as he announced his support for Marsy’s Law.
The Governor said “When victims of crime find the strength to come forward and engage in the criminal justice process we must ensure that they have basic rights and protections in place. Victims of crime deserve equal constitutional rights – the same rights as defendants. No more, no less. Let’s get this done.”
Amanda Grady Sexton, Director of Public Affairs for New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence and State Director for Marsy’s Law for All said “There is a critical imbalance that exists within the criminal justice system in New Hampshire. We are proud to be a part of a broad coalition working to clarify and enhance the rights of victims of crime.”
The law is in honor of Marsalee “Marsy” Nicholas, a California student who was killed in 1983 by a former boyfriend. The national effort is led by her brother, Dr. Henry Nicholas. A week after she was killed, Henry Nicholas and his mother crossed paths with the suspect in a grocery store. They were never informed that he was released on bail.
Governor Sununu To Hold News Conference On Marsy’s Law for New Hampshire
CONCORD,NH (AP) – Gov. Chris Sununu, lawmakers, police and crime victims are holding a news conference at noon about strengthening and updating New Hampshire’s rights for crime victims.
The Tuesday news conference will discuss Marsy’s Law for New Hampshire, a constitutional amendment establishing rights for crime victims.
It’s in honor of Marsalee “Marsy” Nicholas, a California student who was killed in 1983 by a former boyfriend. The national effort is led by her brother, Henry Nicholas. A week after she was killed, Henry Nicholas and his mother crossed paths with the suspect in a grocery store. They were never informed that he was released on bail.
The law would amend the state constitution to require prosecutors to inform victims or their families of developments and accord them the right to be heard in proceedings.
